Hi all, hope you all have had a fantastic Christmas. As from this week our Inky Impressions Challenges are going to be weekly and Challenge 3 is 'Animals' and today I have Nicole's new release 'Sophia's Sweet Snowman' isn't she just the cutest!! I have made a circle easel (snowball) have distressed the edges and added Champagne Glitz Stickles to match the bow and used metallic embroidery thread to hang the cute snowman charm. Snowflake punch covered with SU Chunky Glitter and a clear rhinestone in the middle.

Have used Glimmermist Marshmallow to give extra sparkle.

Kindy glitz for snow and special effects on the eyes and berries in the hair bow, Inky Dew Drops and clear rhinestones for added sparkle, with a gorgeous snowball trim around the edge of the image.

These ribbons are just gorgeous, I have stuck the gold ribbon on top of the red and then trimmed the edges

Had a break from the computer and just trying to catch up and see a few of my DT buddies from Mad for Markers and Inky Impressions taking part in this Top Ten Cards for 2010, thought it sounded like fun so stop by over at Suzi's blog for the full details. Now I found this really hard to pick my favourates but this is what I chose.

Some of my favourate creations that are not cards, added them at the bottom as not sure if they could be included.

Thank you for visitinig, happy crafting, hope you have all had a fun filled Christmas and wishing a wonderful 2011, take careX:)

Hi all, welcome to our Inky Impressions Challenge and this is our second week of our Black, White plus one colour, now I know I haven't followed the challenge (this is my free week) as I wanted to create this card for my friend Hazel whom I left behind in England (we used to walk together most Wednesday whatever the weather, as you can image I have gained a pound or two since!!). Just had to use this yummy ribbon from Crafty Ribbons to match my gorgeous Inky Impressions 'Birthday Lili' and my new The Sweet with Glitter papers stack from DCWV. Now Hazel likes things plain and not too fussy so have kept the card that way. Though I seemed to have got carried away with my Kindyglitz lol! (used it on the cakes, strawberry and large swirl)

Lili is coloured using Copics and Spica pens for the cake. Now please do not look to close at her left eye, thought the special effects was dry and turned her over to stick the pop up stickers on and messed her eye up I have had to try and rectify by peeling the special effects off and using a multiliner, I just didn't have time to colour her again, I am just too slow, just can't wait to get faster and much better at colouring lol!

A closer look at the spica coloured cake and nails

Now some good news my DT Stamps have arrived yesterday! WOO HOO they are so gorgeous and can't wait to get creating using them.

Don't forget to pop on over to the Inky Impressions Challenge blog and see the gorgeous creations the DT have made using Nicole's gorgeous new Inky Images, there are some cute animal images in this Winter Release too!

Hi all, time is flying by too fast lol! Should have got this posted this morning but by the time I had them finished I ran out of time! I so hope to get ahead of myself very soon! Or as soon as time slows down lol!

It is the second week of our 'Anything Goes' challenge over at Mad for Markers the DT Creations and entries are amazing don't forget to check them out. I was needing some more tags and thought these TGF snowmen could help me out, coloured them using copics and added kindyglitz for extra added sparkly, used my SU tag punch for the tags, ribbon and eyelets from my stash.

This was a scheduled post lol but I am still up and about and this week our Inky Impressions Challenge is Black, White + One other colour, starting Wednesday 7.00am EST, now postie still hasn't brought me my new images:( so I have used one of my favourates Inky Girls Fairy Lili, now this was a challenge for me, I have hardly used black and white and had to dig deep in my stash lol! I tried something new on Lili's wings and used kindyglitz and sprinkled SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter while still wet and boy do they sparkle, then sprayed with Glimmer Mist Dazzling Diamonds. Special effects for the eyes, hair bobbles and shoes. I have used my spellbinders blossom for the shape and MS punch using black glitter card stock for the butterfly. Sentiment is also from Nicole at Inky Impressions. Now I have to say I pleased with how she turned out!

Hope you are not to fed up with my bookmarks but I am just loving making them and I think they make a nice alternative to give instead of a card. I have used Inky Impressions Rachel again as my new gingerbread ribbon arrived and I thought it perfect for this image. I have turned the image around on this bookmark so the gingerbread ribbon could be seen. But then realised when you use it as a bookmark you can see it!! Chunky Glitter snowflake with a brad for the centre and some sparkly ribbon from my stash.

A close up to show the kindyglitg, special effects and glimmer mist dazzling diamonds.

Nicole has some cute animals in this new release as well as a new friend for the girls. Now unfortunately postie hasn't brought my new images :( So I got to play with Rachel again and made a corner bookmark. Now I have cropped some of the image, for the full image see my easel card I made last week here. Isn't she just gorgeous. Have used lots of kindyglitz, also Glimmer Misted the image.

This is how it looks on a book

As you can see I have used lots of kindyglitz, also Glimmer Misted the image with Dazzling Diamonds. (I'm just a little sparkly too lol!) Special effects on the baubles, lights, eyes and heart on dress.

The papers are from Papermania Festive Frolics these are just the cutest of papers, here is the back of the bookmark

Now hop on over to our Inky Dude Alberto to see what gorgeous eye candy he has for you. Don't forget to leave comment all the Inky DT blogs for the chance to win two of the new release images and a sentiment from Nicole (Inky Mama).

The Inkettes and Inky Dude were given this gorgeous digital image 'Rachael's Gingerbread Christmas' isn't she just gorgeous! I am still in the theme of non traditional Christmas colours so we have a purple tree lol! All the baubles have been coloured using Spica Pens then special effects added also to the lights. Rhinestones for extra sparkle. And yes I have used a paper dollie.

Side view to show you the layers and sparkles from Kindyglitz and Glimmer Mist Dazzling Diamonds. I also made the ribbon bow. There are copic coloured pearls on the tree to. Now after I had coloured and layered this cute image I decided I wanted to cut it out now that was tricky around the layered parts lol!

Hi all, Continuing our 'non traditional Copic Colouring Christmas Creation Challenge over at Mad for Markers I finally had a go a making a side step card using the cute TGF snowmen, the tree is an SU stamp and I have used spicas to make it sparkle. The sentiment is heat embossed. I have used kindyglitz around the edges of the sentiment, on the snowmen and along the top edges of the steps. Handmade snowflake and the pom pom is off some ribbon, I think it is a little big but it is stuck on now.

I sprayed the whole card with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer mist and it warped it a little but is sure does sparkle lol!

This weekend took time away from the computer, the boys went to the factory after shopping at Laverton Market to get some of the pieces needed to make Morgan's Bike Trailer, my little fella is so chuffed with himself, this is so he carry his little friends on.

He can go round in circles to

He hopes to put a post on his blog soon. Now the boys made better progress than us girls. But in all fairness we had food shopping, washing, cleaning, weeding etc (or I did most of it lol), you know what it is like, put the washing out and then see a weed or two before you know it an hour has gone lol! It was really good to chill out together especially as Rosanna picked up a sore throat and head cold. Feeling much better today.

We had a trip to Spotlight to get some more plastic canvas for our canvas bags we are cross stitching as we mess up on the cutting out lol! This is how far we have got!

Sunday we started our latch hook projects (last years Xmas Pressies), Rosanna is making a Rudolph cushion and I am trying to make a snowman, never done this before took forever to cut out the canvas and have not mastered how to use the latch hook yet.

Reaching 32 degrees today and tomorrow with a thunderstorm due, sounds like crafting weather to me lol! Let's hope DH thinks so too. Off to the factory now, catch up with you all later.

Thanks for visiting, hope you are all well, happy crafting, take careX:)
